Overview

  • Speaking at the Milken Institute in California Monday, DeSantis said he has “a lot of runway” and plans to stay “very active” as governor until January 2027.
  • He also said no one has asked him to take a role in President Trump’s administration and that he has not sought one.
  • His recent schedule includes donor and policy events and an upcoming keynote for New York Republicans, signaling continued national outreach.
  • He has taken steps reported as smoothing relations with Trump, including backing a Trump airport rename, advancing plans for a presidential library in Miami, and appearing with him on the golf course.
  • Party insiders told reporters they see him as a potential contender even as polling and commentary point to Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio as stronger early favorites for 2028.
